DescriptionOfRegulatoryCostsNotYetApproved
Regulatory Costs in Other Long-Term Assets: The Regulated companies had $71.7 million ($12.4 million for CL&P, $33.7 million for NSTAR Electric, and $10.2 million for WMECO) and $65.1 million ($7.3 million for CL&P, $33.4 million for NSTAR Electric, and $10.1 million for WMECO) of additional regulatory costs as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, that were included in Other Long-Term Assets on the balance sheets. These amounts represent incurred costs for which recovery has not yet been specifically approved by the applicable regulatory agency. However, based on regulatory policies or past precedent on similar costs, management believes it is probable that these costs will ultimately be approved and recovered from customers in rates.
CY2014Q1 nu Description Of Regulatory Costs Recently Approved
DescriptionOfRegulatoryCostsRecentlyApproved
On March 12, 2014, the PURA issued a final decision on CL&P’s request to recover storm restoration costs associated with five major storms, which occurred in 2011 and 2012. The PURA approved recovery of $365 million of deferred storm restoration costs and ordered CL&P to capitalize approximately $18 million of the deferred storm restoration costs as utility plant, which will be recovered through depreciation expense in future rate proceedings. CL&P will recover the $365 million with carrying charges in its distribution rates over a six-year period beginning December 1, 2014. The remaining costs were either disallowed or we believe will be recovered from other sources. These costs did not have a material impact on CL&P’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. As discussed in Note 2, "Regulatory Accounting," during the first quarter of 2014, as a result of a regulatory proceeding, CL&P reclassified approximately $18 million from Regulatory Assets to Property, Plant and Equipment, Net.

CY2014Q1 nu Description Of Working Capital
DescriptionOfWorkingCapital
Working Capital: Each of NU, CL&P, NSTAR Electric, PSNH and WMECO use its available capital resources to fund its respective construction expenditures, meet debt requirements, pay operating costs, including storm-related costs, pay dividends and fund other corporate obligations, such as pension contributions. The current growth in NU’s transmission construction expenditures utilizes a significant amount of cash for projects that have a long-term return on investment and recovery period. In addition, NU’s Regulated companies recover their electric and natural gas distribution construction expenditures as the related project costs are depreciated over the life of the assets. This impacts the timing of the revenue stream designed to fully recover the total investment plus a return on the equity portion of the cost and related financing costs. These factors have resulted in current liabilities exceeding current assets by approximately $424 million, $355 million and $177 million at NU, CL&P and NSTAR Electric, respectively, as of March 31, 2014. As of March 31, 2014, $501.7 million of NU's obligations classified as current liabilities relates to long-term debt that will be paid in the next 12 months, consisting of $150 million for CL&P, $301.7 million for NSTAR Electric and $50 million for PSNH. In addition, $28.8 million relates to the amortization of the purchase accounting fair value adjustment that will be amortized in the next twelve months. NU, with its strong credit ratings, has several options available in the financial markets to repay or refinance these maturities with the issuance of new long-term debt. NU, CL&P, NSTAR Electric, PSNH and WMECO will reduce their short-term borrowings with cash received from operating cash flows or with the issuance of new long-term debt, determined considering capital requirements and maintenance of NU's credit rating and profile. Management expects the future operating cash flows of NU, CL&P, NSTAR Electric, PSNH and WMECO, along with the access to financial markets, will be sufficient to meet any future operating requirements and capital investment forecasted opportunities
